Although Joanne emphasized that she was not doubting him.
Her words could not change the fact that she doubted Wesley.
Wesley glanced at Brian and motioned for him to control his wife.
Brian directly ignored Wesley's gesture, stood firmly at his wife's side, and said, "You'd better answer Joanne's questions honestly. If there is really a misunderstanding between you and Yuna, then I'll spare you on behalf of Joanne from thanking her."
"..." Wesley was speechless and he looked into Joanne's expectant eyes and had to say, "I didn't see her taking the medicine with my own eyes. But I saw her holding an empty medicine bottle. She wanted to hide it, but unfortunately, I caught her doing that."
"What a coincidence!" Joanne's brain was running at a high speed. "And then?"
Wesley continued, "I took her to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said that the child had no vital signs and it was caused by the drugs."
Therefore, Wesley firmly believed that Yuna had killed the child by taking Mifepristone & Misoprostol.
Later, Yuna admitted it.
Joanne thought about it. According to Wesley's description, there seemed to be no loophole.
No wonder Wesley believed that Yuna had killed the child.
She looked at Wesley and said, "I can only tell you that no woman could ever bear to kill her child with her own hands. No one can do it."
At the early stage of her pregnancy, her two babies made her suffer a lot and she could only live on nutritional injections. The doctor suggested that she give up the children, and Chris also began to waver.
However, she still insisted on giving birth to her children.
They were her children, also the fruits of love between her and Brian. Decades later, they would grow up and have their own families and lives.
How could she bear to kill her children with her own hands?
Similarly, Yuna would not either.
Wesley sneered and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Joanne, have you forgotten that Yuna is different from you? She is a killing machine trained by Rowdy. She lives for Rowdy. Others don't mean anything to her."
In other words, he and his child were meaningless to Yuna.
Joanne did not listen to Wesley's words.
She was very sure that Wesley said these depressing remarks because he was still angry.
Joanne could only try her best to persuade Wesley. "How about investigating the whole thing again? Start from the moment when Yuna found that she was pregnant, or from an earlier moment. I think there may be a turning point somewhere."
"No need," Wesley interrupted coldly, "and from today on, I have nothing to do with Yuna."
After that, Wesley entered the ward without looking back, as if he did not care about Yuna at all.
Joanne wanted to stop Wesley and continue to persuade him, but before she could say anything, Brian pulled her hand.
She looked at Brian in confusion. "What's wrong?"
"Wesley is angry," Brian said, "and at this time, he will not listen to whatever you say. Let him go. When his head is clear one day, he will investigate it himself."
"But Yuna is in danger by Rowdy's side, and the child is in even greater danger. Yuna and the child have no time to wait for Wesley's head to be clear!" Joanne thought for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Brian's hand and said, "You can investigate it. Anyway, in this regard, there is something you have in common."
"Mrs. Lambert, mind your words. What do I have in common with Wesley?" Brian seemed to greatly despise Wesley. "I have a wife and children, while Wesley lost his wife and child."
"..." Joanne closed her eyes in despair. "Okay, okay, okay, you're awesome. Let's start our investigation beginning with Yuna's pregnancy. We can first ask the doctor who did her checkup."
Brian smiled, dialed Dui Fang's number, and asked the latter to investigate according to Joanne's idea.
Dui Fang was in a dilemma. "Mr. Brian, it's Boss Hayes, instead of me, who doesn't want to investigate any further. If he finds that I have taken action privately, I will die in various ways. I'm afraid, okay?"
Brian glanced at Joanne and said, "My wife will protect you. Are there any other problems?"
Everyone knew that in this world, only Brian could compete with Wesley.
And Joanne was stronger than Brian.
It was said that Brian obeyed Joanne's every wish, and even Wesley had to be polite to Joanne.
Therefore, in Brian's circle, Joanne was the one who stood at the top of the food chain.
With Joanne's protection, Dui Fang suddenly became confident and said flatly, "No problem, I'll investigate it right away!"
Brian hung up the phone and said to Joanne, "I will let you know as soon as I get any news from Dui Fang."
Joanne nodded and said, "Okay." Then she took a glance at the ward. "Let's go in later. Mom should have something to tell Wesley."
Brian certainly listened to his wife and smiled. "Okay."
In the ward, Wesley had already seen Iris.
Iris smiled and said to Wesley, "Come and have a seat. It's so tiring to stand."
"Aunt Iris, I'm not tired." Wesley came over but did not sit down. He just asked, "Aunt Iris, how are you feeling now?"
"The doctor has treated my wounds. I'm fine now. I'll recover after resting for some time." Iris showed her most relaxed smile to Wesley, trying to relieve his psychological burden.
However, Wesley was not relieved. He said, "Aunt Iris, I'm sorry."
"Wesley, I don't blame you, nor do I blame Yuna. Rowdy is the only one who should be blamed for this matter. We don't need to blame ourselves here." Iris sighed. "Wesley, I want to talk about something else with you."
Wesley seemed to know what Iris was going to say and said first, "Aunt Iris, I'm going back to Glasgow."
"Are you going back just like this?" Iris said hurriedly, "Yuna is still with Rowdy."
"Aunt Iris, I have nothing to do with Yuna anymore. Take good care of yourself. I promise, Rowdy will never have a second chance to kidnap you."
Wesley's eyes were cold and decisive as if Yuna had become an insignificant stranger to him.
"Wesley..." Iris tried to persuade Wesley.
"Aunt Iris, I'm leaving. I'll visit you whenever I have the chance to come back to Arlington."
Then, Wesley left the ward without looking back and saw Brian and Joanne standing outside.
Even though they were alone in the corridor, Brian still held Joanne's hand.
Brian was his wife's number one fan!
Wesley walked up to them and said, "I'm going back to Glasgow."
Joanne nodded and said, "May a favorable wind send you safely home."
Wesley looked intently at Joanne and said, "I'll take a private plane."
If there was always a favorable wind on the way, a plane crash would happen.
Joanne quickly corrected herself. "Well, here's wishing that you will fly against the wind all the way!"
Wesley felt a little strange.
If he remembered correctly, before he went in to see Iris, Joanne had been trying to persuade him to investigate the matter about Yuna.
"Why didn't Joanne insist after he came out?"
Joanne looked calm and gentle, but actually, she had as many wicked ideas as Wendy did.
"Did she have other plans?"
Although Wesley suspected it, it was inconvenient for him to ask about it when Joanne looked so calm. Otherwise, it would show that he still cared about Yuna.
In the end, Wesley said nothing and went straight to the elevator.
After seeing Wesley enter the elevator and going downstairs, Joanne breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although Joanne was not afraid of Wesley, she would not act recklessly before him. After all, he was Brother Wesley who had no scruples in Glasgow!
If Wesley knew that she had ordered an investigation against his will, would he come back to strangle her?
Brian pinched Joanne's hand to bring her back to the present and said, "Let's go in."
Iris had always been concerned about Wesley and Yuna. As soon as Brian brought Joanne in, she asked, "Is Wesley really going back to Glasgow like this? Is he not going to care about Yuna?"
"Mom, don't worry." Joanne sat down and held Iris's hand, with the demeanor of a chivalrous woman, "Wesley doesn't care, but I do!"
Wendy heard that, and her eyes immediately lit up. She looked at Brian and said, "Cousin-in-law, I'm really envious of you."
Brian raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
Wendy replied, "Because you have a good wife!"
Brian showed a look of approval. "You can be envious of me. After all, not everyone is so lucky."
Wendy was speechless. "Cousin-in-law, I did praise you very seriously. But is it really good for you to feel that proud?"
Joanne coughed and nudged Brian.
She wanted to cover her face. She really did not know when Brian had become so obsessed with showing off that she was his wife.
Iris smiled and asked Joanne, "What are you going to do?"
"I've ordered an investigation," Joanne said, "From the moment when Yuna found that she was pregnant. As long as we find something fishy, other things will soon be exposed. If I prove that it is just a misunderstanding that Yuna took the medicine and gave up her child, then I will blackmail Wesley!"
"..." Wendy stepped aside. "Cousin-in-law, I'm not envious of you anymore. Your wife is not easy to deal with!"
Joanne rubbed Wendy's hair and said, "Since you're so talkative, did you manage to persuade Wesley when he came in just now?"
"I don't dare," Wendy said timidly, "because Boss Hayes looked so scary just now. I'm afraid that he will kill me."
Joanne thought that Wesley was probably really angry this time.
Wesley was cold-blooded and ruthless to others, but he would treat Wendy somewhat indulgently. Just now, even Wendy did not dare to approach him.
If her guess was right that it was a misunderstanding that made Yuna give up her child, she wondered how Wesley would react.
"By the way, Cousin-in-law, can you transfer Aunt Iris to the private hospital," Wendy said, "where there are Aunt Helen, Gavin and I. We can get together to play mahjong."
"I'm afraid that you need one more person," Brian said, "Wesley will take Aunt Helen away when he goes back today."
Wendy was disappointed, but she quickly cheered herself up and pinned all her hopes on Iris. "It doesn't matter. Aunt Iris can pit one against two."
What she meant was that Iris was very powerful and could act as two players.
Joanne smiled and corrected Wendy. "You used the idiom of 'pit one against two wrongly'. However, we will indeed transfer Mom to the private hospital."
Brian checked the time and said, "I'll go and settle the paperwork."
If they transferred Iris to the private hospital now, they might be able to meet Aunt Helen there.
Joanne should have something to tell Aunt Helen.
